Topps Heritage cards brought back my long lost love of sports card collecting, so I'd like to share some of my newfound ballcard experiences with as many collectors as possible, especially those who have not purchased a pack of cards in many years!

Amazing One Card (x4) Collection

Amazing. Ran across this video on youtube and was simply amazed. This is one of the most sought after cards in the hobby, and this one collector has four of them! These four cards blow away my entire 100,000+ card collection, well at least monetarily considering an average PSA 6 goes for over $27,000! Even a PSA 1 Lajoie has an estimated value of $4000. But I bet he does not have the vast variety of KC Royals cards that I keep in the "not available for trade or sale" part of my collection. The card in question is the 1933 Goudey #106 Napolean Lajoie card. The card was not included in the regular set for some reason, but if collectors wrote a letter to Goudey requesting the card, Goudey would send the card out to the collector. Throw in the fact than Mr. Lajoie is a hall of famer and you have the makings of what most people consider to be one of the three most coveted baseball cards produced. Awesome.
